To maximize safety and efficiency at the gate, ADB SAFEGATE has developed a software concept that offers real-time control and monitoring of the aircraft turn process. SafeControl - Apron Management provides integration and data sharing capabilities and is based on the same platform used for air traffic management to guarantee a high level of safety and availability. SafeControl - Apron Management integrates with other airport and airline systems and gate equipment and uses the A-VDGS as intelligent sensors to collect and distribute real-time gate intelligence and flight data. This means accurate flight information can be shared between airport, airline and air traffic control systems, making it a natural part of A-CDM and A-SMGCS. By using Safedock A-VDGS with SafeControl - Apron Management, customers can shorten turn times, avoid accidents, reduce operational costs, increase productivity and plan more effectively.
